The events with Shen Society took so much of Li Yang's ti that it was actually later than usual when he had the chance to arrive back ho. He had his newly registered license inside his wallet and he had an evil-qi dispelling talisman stuck underneath his suit coat. His life was…
He couldn't exactly say that life was good.
Forced to act as so entertainer for heaven's whims, it wasn't the life that he wanted.
But it was also what he made of it that determined his perspective on his situation. And Li Yang had already made peace with his situation, step by step, he'd get complete control over his situation and dictate the terms to this agreent. But for now, he needed to comply while preparing for the future that he couldn't exactly foresee.
And the best way to do it besides complying with the System and the Celestial Heavens were finding allies. A business empire was not built and handled alone by a single man, it took multiple individuals that proved themselves to be an asset to the company—he needed to find them. Li Yang would like to think that the ones he t at the Shen Society would be one of the many that'd find and et.
.
However he was still unsure if they would be able to help him with his situation in regards to his lack of spiritual roots. The man checked his charm points now:
[ Current Charm Points: 1195 Points ]
He still needed a lot more if he wished to actually purchase the 'Roots Unlocknt' and so far, he still needed a lot more. He had earned about 50 Charm Points under his own doing today, and though it might have been good—he still needed to gather much more. When he gained '100 Charm Points' from Bo Lifen it might have been the biggest gain he had earned withstanding the one that ca from the 'Fire Dweller'.
Li Yang considered it for a mont, "It's far easier than spending an evening with Ying Yue He. But… on who's the easier one to spend ti with, that changes things." He sighed and continued to drive. Only a little bit more and then he could finally rest.
There was also no assurance that if he spent ti with Bo Lifen again, he would end up earning 100 Charm Points again. However, if opportunity allowed him to garner points again—then he would take it.
. . .
There was a tiny mistake that Bo Lifen figured out and soon had to redy—she didn't exactly know where the man lived. And though the place might have been sothing smaller, terribly smaller and with less traffic than Shanghai, she still didn't have a clue where exactly had he lived. She didn't want to return back to her great-grandmother's place and ask for directions.
She could probably figure this out for herself.
Most of the houses had signs of life in them—not all of them were separated by large walls that her matriarch had insisted upon to make their ancestral ho's defense sturdy. And though she wasn't a cultivator, her senses were pique up to a certain amount that she could pick up on minor details.
The house over there had the laughter of children, one of the vehicles parked on the right had a 'baby on board' sticker and she was positive that the CEO had no kid at all.
It was a matter of elimination.
Each of the houses were dissected and evaluated carefully before she moved on to the next one while she held the thermos in her hands.The wind was awfully chilly but she pushed through it, the cold didn't bother her. But soon enough, she noticed a dark vehicle backing it up over a simple one-storey house and she put two and two together.
Soone like them would live in a house like that.
She ran towards him—eager to get this thing over with. Whatever the reason for them coming ho late didn't matter to her, it was none of her business. But the thought of… she slowed down and paused outside of the house's lawn and tried not to grimace. Bo Lifen had not been running over to see the man like so infatuated high school girl, she just wanted to get it over with.
She had not done it at all.
The thermos felt heavy in her hands as she awaited the man to co out of the car, the words that she had already prepared for herself to say was ingrained in the back of her mind. She only needed to shove the thermos in his hands and say goodnight, that was easy.
And soon the vehicle's car door swung open, a man stepped out of the vehicle, and he t her gaze with one look. He raised one brow at her, a look of confusion on his face. "Who are you, Miss?"
Bo Lifen blinked and then glared at him. "What the heck are you trying to pull, Li Yang?"
Glaring bright lights illuminated over them.
